Freezing Movement...

In class last week we worked on how to freeze movement and continued to work on our assignment for Action and Motion. After class I continued to work on the assignment and went to Wilkesboro, NC to allow my friends to assist me. We went to Smithey Creek Park off of HWY 421, which is a boat ramp and playground. My friend Katie asked one of her guy friends if he would come out and drive his Dodge Cummins (a diesel truck) up and down the parking lot. It took a while, but eventually I succeeded in capturing the Panning Motion shot that we needed for our assignment.

I was so excited when I managed to get the Truck in focus!

Not only did my friends help with the panning motion, but also the freeze motion.

And the Motion.

Painting with Light...

In class on Tuesday we started working on our Action/Motion assignment. We took photos outside of Dr. Redmond jumping around to practice stop action and panning shots. When we went back inside we experimented with Light Painting. Light Painting is one of my favorite photographs to shoot. It's always fun to see what you can come up with in your photo after everything is done. One of my favorite shots from our class was : 

I loved that I managed to actually capture the heart instead of just a bunch of light. I can't wait to shoot my photographs for my assignment!!
